Seal Coat to Extend Life of Asphalt and Add Curb Appeal & Value to Property

It's ideal to seal coat every two to three years. APT prefers using SealMaster(TM) MasterSeal(TM) because it lasts longer than other sealers. Newer, previously unsealed asphalt may also receive rejuvenation treatment. Good drainage and regular maintenance sweeping helps extend the life of seal coating by removing water, grit and loose gravel that accelerates wear and shortens the life of an asphalt parking lot.

Seal Coat: Improves Curb Appeal and Protects Asphalt from Harmful Effects of Sun & Weather

The economic reasons for doing seal coating on a regular schedule with the best materials and techniques is to protect against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, much like sunscreen protects the human skin. Sealcoat guards against oxidation form weather and wear. As asphalt ages, it becomes brittle and aggregates unravel and cracks emerge.

Regular schedule of sealcoating helps extend the life of the bigger expense, which is repairing cracks, patching and ultimately replacing the asphalt. The right schedule for your property depends on how your lot is used and how well it drains. Look in the center of drive-lanes and when they begin to look worn, you're already compromising the surface. It's time to act. Seal coating every one to three years is fairly typical.
